The Secret Successor CHAPTER 273
At Tuna Waves.“Why haven’t you married yet?” a female worker named Caroline asked Irene. “You looked so homely. I’m sure there are some nice guys that would marry with their eyes closed.”“If it was up to me, I’d have long married some millionaire,” Irene sighed, “but my dad wouldn’t even let me date anybody. I had to lie to him about this job, too, because he would never agree with me working as a receptionist even though it’s a five-star hotel.”“You really have a controlling father.”“It’s better than having no father,” Irene said, knowing how many struggles Jessica had to go through and had to stop her education after highschool. “My dad has done so much for me, so I think I should marry the guy he selects for me, but of course, I need to like the guy as well.”“And when will your father find you this ‘chosen’ guy?”“He wants me to get a good job first,” Irene said. “He thinks I should have a job and have some experience before marriage. And that’s exactly what I’m doing.”Just t

A minute earlier.In his office, Seth was talking with his ex-wife on the phone.“If you are okay with it, I’ll marry you again,” she said. “I’m sure our kids will be happy.”“Uh, I will think about it,” saying that Seth ended the call. He smiled happily because his obstinate and egotistic ex-wife was now asking him to marry her again. “It seems Roddick has spoken with her. To think it’d be so easy to make her change her mind… money really talks.” Just then, he remembered that he had mixed in Kyra’s food with whatever powder that Roddick had given him. He couldn’t smile anymore. “I don’t think I should work in this hotel anymore. I will ask Roddick to find me a better hotel. If he wants it, he can even make me the CEO of a chain of hotel businesses.”The door opened, and Russell entered the room with a broom in his hand.“M-Mr. Russell,” Seth could straight away tell from the body language that something wasn’t right. “What are you—”BAM~!Russell smashed Seth’s face with the broom fr

Roddick was enjoying with girls in the infinity pool in his private villa. His personal butler, Ivan, came to him and delivered a rather shocking message.“S-She was pregnant?” Roddick was confounded for a second. “Don’t tell me… she was carrying Trevor’s baby?”“It seems like it, sir,” Ivan said. “And now, the baby is gone. If the hotel manager speaks up, it’ll be bad for us.”“Then kill him. Tonight itself.”“Yes,” Ivan said and walked away, talking on his mobile. Already arranging men to deal with Seth.Roddick sipped on whiskey and was able to smile rather amusedly. “I was only trying to mess with her periods so she wouldn't be pregnant, but to think she was already pregnant… Haha, talking about killing two birds with one stone. I’m starting to understand why Kyra had agreed to marry Russell so urgently. It’s to hide the fact that she was pregnant. She did well hiding the truth, but in the end, she failed miserably. This is a time for celebration.” He joined the girls and celebrat

Madison’s scream was as loud as any woman in the world could possibly scream. Naturally, many people nearby came rushing into the house and helped with James’ situation.They managed to bring him down and save him, all thanks to Madison who had grabbed his legs and kept him from choking to death.Though the people showered James with very many questions, he didn’t answer any of them. He wasn’t in a position to talk just yet because his throat hurt a lot. His eyes were also burning. Everything felt weird, to say the least, but the memory of Amelie leaving with some random dude still played in his mind, and it brought tears into his eyes again.Madison didn’t leave James’ side. Her husband was also there. They called his parents and told them what happened. Arnold, Jennifer, and Viola rushed home in a hurry.Meanwhile, in the Heller Tower.Harry was talking with someone on the mobile. “S-She lost her pregnancy? What the fuck do you mean?”“From what I know, your son is responsible for i

Harry hurried out of his office and rushed to his son who was about to enter the elevator. Roddick saw Harry and thought he was coming to beat him again, so he ran down the stairs.Harry chased him, but Roddick was too fast to catch up. Harry purposely slid down the stairs and hit his shoulder to the wall and cried out.Roddick stopped and frowned. “Tsk,” he ran back up but kept himself two feet away from his father. “Are you alright?”“Listen, Roddick,” Harry grunted. “Liam is here. I don’t know how, but it’s safe to assume he knows that you hurt Kyra. Otherwise, there’s no reason for him to come looking for you right now when his daughter is in the hospital. You should run away and hide from all eyes until the heat goes down. Go!”Roddick, however, removed the mask on his face. “So what if he knows? I’ve made arrangements so that he won’t be able to prove anything. Why should I still run?”“Stop saying nonsense and listen to me this once,” Harry got back to his feet and grabbed his

Kyra, the woman he had dreamed about the most and wanted to make his woman no matter what, was his own biological sister?Roddick couldn’t even process that information for a long time. The pain in his crotch was temporarily gone because the mental shock was just too much to take.“Kyra is… my dad’s…” he kept shaking his head. “No, no, this can’t be true.” But then, the past memories kept coming back, and there were times when Harry spent a lot of time with Kyra when she was young. “Was this the reason behind all the love he showered on her in the past? That means, he and Charlotte… What the fuck, man? I thought I was the only crazy guy, but these guys are much crazier than me.”He tried to get up, but he couldn’t.Every time he tried to move, his scrotal sacs hurt like hell. As a result, Roddick was forced to call someone for help, and he called Harry.Within two minutes, Harry rushed over. Seeing his son on the floor, wearing a painful expression on his face, Harry grew all the more
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 279
Russell’s heart shook at once. He had invested a lot of time and money into the hotel, and he had promised a bright future to the staff members, and now Kyra was asking him to quit being the CEO of Tuna Waves. What would the staff members think of him? What would Irene think of him? She might just think that Russell got arrogant and reckless after marrying Kyra, and she might also never forgive Russell for toying with her professional life. On top of that, Irene could make the relationship between Russell and Jessica even worse than it already is.“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Kyra asked.Whether this was a test or not, Russell found himself forced to answer. “I will make the arrangements as you wanted, but I need a week for that.”“You don’t have to go there again, Russell,” she tightened the grip on his hand and got up from the bed. “I will let William deal with it.”Russell pursed his lips. He believed that Kyra needed mental support from her husband more than anything, so he

Kyra spent the rest of the day drinking at a bar until she couldn’t take another sip. Men approached her multiple times, trying to take advantage of her, but Russell was right there, and he shielded her from other men.As he was bringing Kyra outside, one of the guys from before followed them to their car. It was the Alpha Wolfe car.“Is this your car, bro?” he asked and also immediately took his gun out.Russell, however, did not flinch. He had already made Kyra sit in the car, and so all this stranger needed to do was take the keys from Russell and then leave with the car and the woman.“Give me the keys,” he demanded.Russell didn’t drink, so he was perfectly sober. Still, his heart didn’t even race all that man as a gun was pointed at him.“If you drive away with this car, all the police in the country will be after you, and you’ll be dead before morning,” Russell said. “Do you really want that?”Russell’s calm and composed demeanor made the stranger hesitate.“Here,” Russell took
